There is a push for a 4 day work week they say it’s more productive OK . When you are only getting paid for 32 hours how are you to pay your bills. People working 40 or more now say they can’t pay them now . They say it is also better for the family. That would be a good thing . It’s the stupidest thing I’ve ever heard of. They can’t even do something simple like do away with not changing the clocks twice a year. Stupid! Maybe we should start closing stores on Sunday and go to grandmas for dinner like we used to do every Sunday!

Good to see you Fed!  Your former stomping grounds are just coming into the best time of the year!
I don’t disagree with what you’ve written, except we do not yet know the truth.  Is it the PA AG?  Is it they who made the allegations that triggered the grand jury (now there is a perfectly balanced system?).  Is the entire DuBois city government, including every employee and associated outside groups, corrupt (Absurd to even think or type).
As I’ve said, I would like to hear/understand what the AG is alleging.  Let Herm face his accuser and defend himself.  Let our system play out.

But we don’t and there remains a legally enforceable employment contract.
I, for one, would like to see the cards the AG is holding in her hand.

Neither one of our two highest elected officials can read from a prepared speech....Impeach them both!

Not sure. But one heck of a lot of money and manpower for a guy that didn't report to jail for a DUI charge,

All the blades and generator units in the region I work(lower 1/3 of Cambria & all of Somerset counties) came from Erie via rail car, then offloaded to truck for either temp storage or construction.  The is(or was?) a big storage yard along SR160 just south of Ebensburg for spare units.

There are more windmills down there than I can count.  I had to design fiber and copper services to all the monitoring/maintenance offices in my area.  From a distance they don't look all that big, but once you're under one you see how big they really are.   Most of the newer units have blades that are 92FT or longer.   Some of the older units have 75-85FT blades.

Hubby and I always get our gas at Jim's Atlantic, a local family business that has been there for many years.  They are citizens, friends and neighbors who spend their money locally.  Unless it got way higher than big gas, I would still get my gas there.
You pull in, they come out to pump your gas, they smile and sometimes give you a loaf of Zucchini Bread.  You can get your oil changed there with a smile and no line up.  The good old days are still here if you look for them.  Don't expect mega advertising, just gas pumped for you.

I went to Sheetz in Brookville the day of for a bottle of wine.  The line extended out onto Allegheny Blvd.   ....I wasn't about to sit in line for that cluster-'F of an event to save a few dollars(time is money to me, even my free time).   Brookville PD had a squad car and officer helping with traffic.

The Amish don't sanitize everything that touches them from the time they are born, so their immune systems are built to protect them.  They still get sick, but their immune system has been prepped by every other bug they have ever run into and not took an antibiotic for.  When a strange bug hits their body, there's something somewhere in the mix ready to attack the invader because a cousin of it has already been there.  COVID is a cousin of the common cold.

Happy Father's Day to all the dads!!
Have a great day and enjoy!!

Looks like I will not be buying a new car in the future. They want to monitor how you drive, your ethnicity and how you drive and also if they think you are drunk the car takes over etc watch this video. It was in the infrastructure bill.
They want to know everything about you while you are in your vehicle.
 
 

Today, Memorial Day, we honor the men and women who died while serving in the U.S. Military. 
We are also mindful and appreciative today of all members of the U.S. Military who serve to protect and defend the Constitution and We the People. 
 “As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter the words, but to live by them.” - John F. Kennedy
It is also JFK's birthday today!

You are right there is no law just as there is no law that says I have to call them they/them or ze. I will use their name period when addressing the person and if they don't like it then they can just keep on walking and leave me alone.

If you are over the age of 18 than do what you want but leave children alone and let them make up their own minds when they turn 18.
This movement of giving children hormone therapy when they are 4 or 5 is sick and disgusting.
These same people who are for this also support pedophiles and say that we should stop calling them pedophiles. Now they want you to use minor-attracted persons. This is also beyond insane.
They call women cis-women. I am sorry but cis does not need to be added to women  or calling them birthing people etc.
There are two genders a man and a woman. All other names and variations are for the mentally challenged.
Now if you want to be gay, trans etc so be it that is your right but you do not have the right to change my vocabulary or insist I use pronouns.
I have a nephew who says he is non-binary whatever the heck that means. I call him by his given name if I ever see him again unless he legally changes it.  It is not a dead name as the far left want to insist.
I also worked with a trans person(male who identified as female). Very nice person and I called him/her by the name they wanted. Which was a female name. No problem. She was a very hard worker and genuinely nice person but she did not preach or use pronouns etc and everyone accepted her as it should be. Now had she started preaching all this woke/left crap then it would have become one I am sure but that was not her goal or mindset. It is these Democrats in these far left cities that are the issue and they are ruining society for women, gays, etc.
Live and let live and quit trying to change the English language and trying to force people to bend to your lunacy.

Thanks. When I was working I usually knew what was happening but since I retired I don't get much info anymore. I'll try to find out however. 

I found it interesting that john Coleman the car guy, a popular car salesman at Kelly Chrysler jeep in Brookville for 23 years, just this week started working at stoltz.

I would like to see the judicial process play out.  All accused need to face their accusers.  This whole area is mired down with an "Animal House" style double secret probation, where no one understands exactly what is going on and have been told even less.  The "concerned citizens" need to show their face.   The DuBois city government needs to quit acting as if they have something to hide.
Incidentally, as a DuBois resident, I voted for consolidation.  
 
 

Excellent article, written in simple enough terms that we ALL should be Furious..

Each entity will deal with their own specific charges individually.  However, since the evidence is so mixed together, they will all have to deal with it jointly to sort it out.

Moving here, I was an unbiased observer.  I had no allegence to either.  Never intended to stay here this long.  What I saw was 2 entities that are bound as a single entity..neither able to survive without the other.  Instead of trying to cooperate, they chose to waste taxpayer money over literally $hit.  Neither party is or was the innocent victim of the other.  This entire area would be much better off if they didnt see each other as the enemy.

Also I should remind people who are not registered to vote to go do that soon.
If you complain and do not vote you really shouldn't because the solution to the problem is to get out and vote. By not voting you are not helping to solve anything. 
 

As an outsider who ended up here about 3 decades ago, I have observed nastiness and stupidity from both sides.  The first 20 years I recall city and township suing each other non-stop over sewage.  
Lived in Sandy since I arrived.  DuBois it is.  No one has a clue where Sandy Township is, unless you live here.  At least the name DuBois is recognized beyond 30 miles.

I do not want to defend nor condemn anyone until the forensic accounting & judicial process has played out.  A majority of voters from both municipalities have endorsed the merger and what has been alleged should not affect the final outcome, though it may determine how it occurs.
I believe the name should be "City of DuBois", but I also believe districts should be adopted, such as "Sandy District" and "Treasure Lake District".  
Some here should be old enough to recall the school district merger of DuBois, Sandy, Sykesville, etc., and how it was facilitated by having the surrounding towns retain identity through the elementary schools.  That merger is now approaching 60 years past and many of the firebrands for and against are now arguing about in their afterlife.  My point is our area cannot be short-sighted about what has allegedly occurred.  That die has been cast and there is nothing that can change facts.  Work on improving what we can, but do not ignore the past or let the past have undo influence on our future.
